The figurative candlesticks, with richly-decorated pillars on buttressed and foliated tripod feet, are conceived in the florid 15th Century Gothic style popularised in 1836 by the publication of A.W.N. Putin's silversmiths' designs and Designs for Iron and Brasswork. He was also the author of The Present State of Ecclesiastical Architecture in England, 1843, and The Glossary of Ecclesiastical Ornament and Costume, 1844. While producing designs for the New Palace of Westminster, A.W.N. Pugin (d. 1852) was assisted by John Hardman Powell (d. 1895), whose family had established the important Birmingham 'mediaeval metalworkers', John Hardman & Co. in the 1820s and produced related metalwork.
